    Outcome: Haye‘s plan is to use his speed to get off on the slow moving giant and then get out of the way, and he‘ll execute this game plan very well in the opening rounds of the bout. Haye will pot-shot Valuev with quick, sneaky body shots, and looping right hands that land on the bigger man’s arms and shoulders but still cause the beltholder to teeter and totter a bit. Valuev will constantly stalk forward behind his jab, but occasionally the behemoth will take a step back and try to counter Haye with hooks or right crosses. The giant’s lack of speed will prevent him from scoring regularly during the first half of the fight but his gradual pressure and ability to take Haye’s best punches will begin to take a toll on the challenger going into the late rounds. In rounds six, seven, and eight, Valuev will open up more offensively, mixing in left hooks to the body and head with his piston-like jab. Haye will do more backpedaling than in-and-out punching in these rounds, and he'll also catch a few right hands from his steadfast stalker as he moves straight back. In rounds nine and 10, Valuev will corner a tiring and arm-weary Haye, pushing the smaller man back into the ropes whenever he tries to escape and smothering him with his size in close. Valuev’s mauling tactics will repeatedly wobble Haye until the referee halts the fight or the former cruiserweight’s corner throws in the towel.

    Prediction: Valuev by late stoppage.

    that sounds realistic:good

    Funny, I seem to recall an incredibly similar analysis for Valuev-Holyfield too.

    Holyfield was robbed.

    If Haye boxes like Evander and punches harder, he will win the fight. Valuev good not cut the ring off to stop Evander Holyfield, an old man.
    Haye is too fast. If Haye boxes intelligent he will win.

    Holyfield has stamina, chin, balance and defense.

    Haye needs to get a KO, there is no way he gets a decision in Germany. That being said, it's going to be tough and I expect Valuev to be motivated to come and make a statement.

    No question. But thats a BIG IF. Haye has never done that before. Doesnt have that style. And i dont see him suddenly turning into Larry Holmes over night.

    It funny I don't know what the betting odds on this fight are but it seems like Haye is the under dog accrding to most experts. Almost everyone that I've heard has a similar prediction. I don't fully by the knocks on his chin and I'll be interested to see if Haye is being underated.
